Sinekatalog’s take
Kenji Mizoguchi's drama follows a widow caught between her sister's husband and her heart in a love triangle of duty and sacrifice. Kinuyo Tanaka is delicate in a refined, tragic and beautifully staged adaptation of Tanizaki.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
